"Tim Shoppa the ****head Troll "


Everyone ought to realize that "Wikipedia" data can be written by
ANYONE

** As are NG posts.

The difference being that Wikis are full of checkable references and are
subject to on-going correction.

The best Wikipedia articles are often filled with good checkable
references, but other times it sounds like they were written in a
foreign language and translated into English

** Only indicates your lack of comprehension.


Just because a Wikipedia entry isn't well-written or sounds awkward

** You are irrationally obsessed with style over content.

Mostly likely because you cannot comprehend the content.


Somewhere there's a bunch of people who spend their time correcting
and improving Wikipedia entries, and I think overall they are doing a
good job, but that doesn't mean the result is always devoted to my
interests.

** What a revolting, pompous little narcissist you are - Tim.


Just like anything else in this world, it's got workers and
it's got managers and they aren't always devoting their attention to
the little corners of arcania that I live in.


** I was much too kind earlier ....


It's not that the Encyclopedia Britannica is perfect either. I can
open it up to the very few subjects that I happen to be expert on and
find over-simplifications and a lack of cites to what I consider to be
the best references.

** Mere narcissism has just turned into full blown ego-mania.


Of course in academia I got real used to opening a journal and instead
of reading the articles, to go straight to the references and see if
they are quoting one of my articles :-).


** Wot a nauseating computer geek puke.
